Thursday Draft Question 5/14
By: YuYu Madigan
1) From the 451 Bios: Taki Amaru raps in Kichwa. This immediately reminded me of combating third death by maintaining connection to culture, in this case via an ancestral language. Do you agree and can you expand on this idea of third death in conjunction with hip hop music?
2) The BBC Podcast (11:15) discusses this "mujera lunar" in which "we are connected with the moon cycle". She goes on to describe what this means including using the term "crazy", did this idea resonate with you and do you agree with what she said about it?
3) Voicing citizenship highlights protest movements that are predominately powered via social media (p57). I started thinking about more traditional forms of protest pre-internet such as against the Vietnam War. Do you think more sustained mass gatherings like war protests would prove more effective in the fight against harmful anti-immigration laws or do you think social media campaigns is sufficient in this day and age?
4) In Cyphers: Hip-Hop and Improvisation, they talked about predominately racist attitudes in North America by citing "The outgoing head of the Education Department in Arizona recently claimed that teaching hip-hop in public schools is illegal and dangerous, claiming “Public schools in Tucson, Arizona illegally promote ethnic solidarity and the overthrow of the U.S. government by teaching Mexican history". I feel like oftentimes acts like this are just as dangerous as the terrorist attacks designed to kill people that were mentioned earlier in the paragraph and was curious to know your take on it as well and if you agree or disagree with this and why so.
